Jungkook knocked on the door to Jimin's apartment.
He had a box of pizza in his hand, he had wanted to surprise Jimin and decided to bring him something from his favorite pizza place.

He heard a few muffled sounds from the other side of the door and then the door being opened.
He found himself standing face to face with a stranger.

Said stranger had a very handsome yet intimidating face and soft brown puppy eyes, his messy black hair framing his face.

Jungkook blinked.

Not exactly a stranger. He seemed painfully familiar in a distant way.

"Um, is this the wrong apartment?"
"I wouldn't know, it's not my apartment", the familiar stranger shrugged.

"Isn't this Park Jimin's house?" Jungkook tried again.
"Who's asking?" The stranger replied, coolly appraising Jungkook, making him rather self conscious.
It was the searching glance that finally made it click in Jungkook's mind.

"Wait! You're Kim Taehyung, the model!!"

Taehyung's face went bashful as he tried to hide his face with his hair. Endearing, but futile.

"Woah! Jimin said he was friends with you but I thought he was lying. Nice to meet you, I'm Jeon Jungkook".

He held out his hand for a cordial shake, but Taehyung, embarrassed at being caught, just dashed back inside yelling, "JIMIN!!"

A familiar voice answered back in concern.
"Tae? Who was it? Why do you sound like a bear attacked you?"

Jungkook decided to just fuck it and stepped inside the familiar apartment, stopping short.

It had been rearranged, new stuff moved in, and the place felt different.
Jungkook decided he didn't like it.

He made his way to the living room to find Taehyung frantically ranting to Jimin about how a dude with a pizza box had come here to kidnap Jimin and had recognized him and now they were both gonna die and-

"Umm... I'm not really a kidnapper, and I'm definitely not a killer".

They both turned to him, Jimin's face breaking into a gorgeous smile when he saw who it was.
He all but pushed Taehyung aside and hugged Jungkook.

"Kook!! I'm so glad you came! How you doing?"
"Good, good. Thought I'd come over to chill and brought some pizza. Sorry if I'm imposing though".
"Na, you're always welcome. Taehyung come meet Jungkook, he's works with me and is my friend".

Taehyung composed himself and shook Jungkook's hand.
"Hey, how's it going man?"
"Pretty good. Welcome to Seoul. So, is it just me or did you get some new decor?"

Jimin's eyes widened in horror and realization.
Taehyung's brows went up.
"Oh Jimin didn't tell you? He"-

Jimin covered Taehyung's mouth and hastily whispered-
"Not a word about Yoongi".

Taehyung blinked in confusion while Jimin chuckled and put a hand in Jungkook's shoulder.
"Alright you caught me. I have a new roommate".
"Really? Who? Do I know him?"
"No. He hates people actually, and he just went out, locked his room too. I doubt you'll like him".

Jungkook shrugged and settled on the floor.
"Anyways, shall we play a game?"
